Wrapping Up the Year
with Raptor Pride
As we close out the school year, this final week has been a time of celebration, achievement, and reflection for our entire K–12 Raptor family. From our youngest learners finishing a year of growth to our seniors preparing to take their next big steps, we are proud of every student. We celebrated our graduates, recognized student accomplishments at awards ceremonies, and wrapped up End-of-Grade testing with pride.

Once a Raptor, Always a Raptor
Congratulations to the graduating Class of 2025! We are incredibly proud of our seniors for their hard work, perseverance, and accomplishments.

We wish them all the best as they SOAR into the future!

Senior Walk Through
Our graduating seniors took their final walk through the school halls this week, greeted with cheers and high-fives from students and staff. In a touching moment, they were escorted by our kindergarteners, symbolizing both a beginning and an end. It was a proud celebration of how far they’ve come—and a sweet reminder of where they started.

Celebrating Our Little Raptors!
Congratulations to our kindergarten Raptors! This special group of students has grown so much this year—learning, laughing, and building the foundation for a lifelong love of learning. We are so proud of their accomplishments and can’t wait to see all they will do as they spread their wings and soar into first grade.

Raptors Give Back
In a year filled with both challenges and meaningful moments, our students took time to give back and show appreciation for the community that supports us. Their acts of service, big and small, are a reminder of the power of kindness.

Raising Funds, Building Hope
The LLCA faculty, staff and students created a “Western NC Strong” T-shirt to inspire resilience and raise funds for rebuilding Lake Lure and Chimney Rock Village. On May 21, 2025, School Director Barbara Cohen and faculty members presented a donation check to Mayors Carol Pritchett and Peter O’Leary to support ongoing restoration efforts.

Dear Raptor Families,
As we wrap up another school year, words can hardly express our deep gratitude for your unwavering commitment to Lake Lure Classical Academy. The challenges we’ve faced together have only strengthened our sense of unity and purpose. Your support, involvement, and dedication have been the cornerstone of our success—and we truly couldn’t have done it without you.
Thank you for everything you do to uplift our students and enrich our school community. We wish you all a restful, joyful summer break and look forward to welcoming you back in the fall with renewed energy and bright smiles.
Finally, I would be remiss not to recognize and celebrate the remarkable Class of 2025. Your hard work, leadership, and spirit have left an indelible mark on LLCA. As you step into the next chapter of your journey, know that you will always be a part of the Raptor family. We are proud of you and excited to see what the future holds.
With heartfelt appreciation,
Mr. Fair
